wearing: Winter Kate skirt | James Perse tee | Steve Madden sandals | 3.1 Philip Lim bag | Trois Petits Points necklace | Chain necklace
I met a reader yesterday while I was shopping at Moss (hi Amy!!) and she paid me the best compliment ever: she said that she knew me instantly; that I look exactly like I do on the blog. Besides the fact that I’m always excited (and stunned, frankly) when I get recognized and meet readers, I loved that she said that about me because I always strive to show you the real me on Grechen’s Closet.
And speaking of Moss Designer Consignment, that’s where I picked up the chain necklace I’m wearing above. I don’t think it quite “fits” with this outfit (it’s a little hard), but I always want to wear things as soon as I get them, so I’m wearing it. I also tried on this Rachel Comey dress when I was there:
It fit me well, but it’s very “poofy” in the hip-area. You can’t tell from the picture, and I was able (with a little help from Masha) to make it less “poofy,” but that’s the shape of the dress. I liked it a lot and spent a lot of time thinking about it, but decided to pass and wait to see if it gets marked down anymore. It’s a fun dress, and very unique, but I couldn’t quite see myself wearing it as often as I’d need to to get my money’s worth from it.
What do you think?
Have a good weekend!!
LOVE that dress. True, it’s not your usual uniform of james perse/inhabit/maxi skirt and it’s not something to wear every day – but why not say yes to a party dress? SO lovely! If I lived in Austin I’d host a party for you so you would have a place to wear it.
Oh!! Sounds fun 🙂 I will have some events I could wear it to coming up soon…
Ah…the pressure…
I’m most impressed by makeup 2 days in a row!! (lol…) I kind of like the idea of a “hard” necklace with a “soft” skirt. I like to do opposites, to toughen up something girly or to soften up something tough. (and that Rachel Comey dress is so cute!!)
Umm, if you do not buy that dress, I am flying down there and snatching it right from up under you. 🙂
I love it!!! I can see what you mean about it being poofy, but that’s a design detail you have to embrace, unless it just looks ridiculous on you (and I’m sure you don’t).

Ugh…now you guys are making me regret not getting it!! I really need to wait until it gets discounted though – I guess I need to cross my fingers that it’s still there.
